quite ugly one morning

don't the sky look funny

don't it look kinda chewed-on like

don't you feel like running

don't you feel like running from the dawn's early light

quite ugly one morning

we all said goodnight

it came without a warning

just a flash of light

don't you feel kind of funny

don't you feel kind of funny inside

when you feel like laughing

and everybody tells you you ought to be crying

quite ugly one morning

we all said goodnight

it came without a warning

but it was quite all right

quite ugly one morning

we all said goodnight

it came without a warning

but it was quite all right

from dawn to sundown

it's a long

long way

and it's a hollow triumph

when you make it to the bottom of another day

there's a fever rising

when the evening comes

and when the battle's over

there'll be nothing left but the sound of drums

quite ugly one morning

we all said goodnight

it came without a warning

just a flash of light

quite ugly one morning

we all said goodnight

it came without a warning

but it was quite all right
